It is essential for every PET bottle producer to introduce sustainable products that will excel in today’s marketplace. This includes a well-trained workforce, line efficiency, the use of quality recycled material and lightweight designs, followed up by verification testing. Automated quality testing as well as digitalization of data to provide quick and accurate feedback on the performance of the bottle and the monitoring of trends to make immediate changes to bring the process back to the baseline are necessary – helping line efficiency and quality. This also facilitates utilization of AI tools for predictive analytics and targeted maintenance.  However, it is important to note that a large factor in the success of the automation, data and testing is having a highly knowledgeable, trained team. As companies throughout the world continue to move in this direction, it is important that they have the necessary knowledge and tools to optimize their production.
